History of the National Library |
|||||
| The library was established in 1991. Initially the stock was very limited, primarily consisting of material collected by Andrew Sutton since the mid eighties plus texts used by the first British people to go and train as conductors in Budapest. |

From this small beginning the Library has grown and developed its services. By the time it moved to larger premises at the new National Institute of Conductive Education in 1995 more space was desperately needed.
In 2005 the Library moved again into a suite of rooms in Cannon Hill House which contain purpose built shelving and study space for ten people. |

| After fourteen
years more than 6000 items are now catalogued, 2000 of which are specifically
on Conductive Education. Other items cover associated subject areas such
as special education, medical conditions, disability issues, motor disorders,
therapies, child development, anatomy, physiology and a varied collection
on Hungary and all things Hungarian. Much is unpublished and irreplaceable.
There is also a huge and unique collection of newspaper cuttings documenting
the spread of Conductive Education around the world. Much of the specialised
Conductive Education collection is in English but there are also materials
in 13 other languages. The catalogue is now computerised and more and
more people are accessing the services via the Foundation’s web
site. |
